Morrison “Is he going to make it?” I asked. “Yes, he will be fine. He just needs to rest.” Mom answers. It has been two days since Uncle Andrew was injured in the attempt to kidnap Aliya. We had located two humans that were more than willing to help us once we flashed a large amount of money in their faces. I knew that Uncle Andrew was going to stop them somewhere along the way and kidnap Aliya. I was surprised to hear that there was another girl with her. I look over when I hear a groan. Uncle Andrew and his friend Liam were the only two that escaped. Everyone else was killed in the fight. “Fuck.” Uncle Andrew states. “Don’t move too fast. Mom and her friend Nalmyra told me that your wounds are healing well but that you are going to be stiff and sore for a while.” I tell him. I help him sit up in his bed. He still has a bruise around his right eye and I can see several more littering his upper body. I link our head cook and ask her to bring up some food for Uncle A
Brayden I am amazed at how this room looks. I have to give mom full credit for this. When we learned that Morrison and Andrew somehow found out that we were having Aliya’s Luna ceremony on the night of the full moon I was pissed. I knew that meant that they might try something. When it was suggested that we move the ceremony up a week to the night of the blue moon and what it could mean for us Aliya was all for it. I asked mom if she would be able to change everything in time and she told me that it would not be an issue. Looking at the ballroom now I can see that she was right. I am not sure how my mother pulled this off but the room is spectacular. “Mom is unreal.” I say. “I just hope Aliya likes it. She deserves the best Luna ceremony.” Mom states. Mom is right. After everything that has happened to her, she deserves the best. I want this night to perfect and magical for her. The room is decorated in silver, pink, and black. Pink and black are my angel's favourit
Aliya I am woken up by fingers trailing down my side and lips travelling down my neck and shoulder. A shiver runs through my body when Brayden nips at the mark on my neck. I can feel my core getting wet. I swear he is insatiable. I knew as soon as I saw him stalking toward me last night that we wouldn’t be getting much sleep. I was right. I think I have only had about two or three hours of sleep. I am pleasantly sore and from what I am feeling pushing against my ass I might not be getting out of bed anytime soon. I grind my ass back against him and I hear a low growl. That just makes my pussy ache even more. I let out a squeak when I am turned onto my stomach and my ass is pulled up as the front of me is still laying on the bed. I can feel my wetness running down my thighs. I wiggle my ass and I receive a firm slap to one cheek. “I would ask if you liked that but I don’t need to. Your sweet little pussy is dripping for me angel.” Brayden says. His voice is still deep a
Morrison None of us knew what to say. The room had been quiet for a while now. I knew something had happened when Jonny and Heather had shown up here late last night. They had just come from the party and looked upset and exhausted. I told them that we would talk the next day and here we are. “That party they had was Aliya’s Luna Ceremony. They moved it up a week for reasons I am not sure of. “ Jonny says. “We had to leave that same night because one of my friends that I still talk to back in dad’s pack was talking to me and Luke heard her call me by my name. I have no idea if anyone else heard her but I knew as soon as Luke heard her call me that he knew who I was.” Heather admitted. I wanted to yell at them but I knew it wasn’t their fault that Luke heard. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I am pissed that they moved Aliya’s Luna ceremony by a whole week. That completely fucks up our plan of taking her during the ceremony when so much would
Brayden It has been a week since my angel officially became the Luna of the Midnight Forest pack. The whole pack ran as one that night. Everyone has been more than welcoming. There were a few of the women that still glare at Aliya but she just ignores them. Everything has been quiet on all sides. We have a few guys keeping an eye on Morrison and Andrew but so far they are staying put. The weather has been shitty so I think has also kept them from trying anything. I hear a giggle as I walk into the kitchen. Tallyn is sitting on the counter as Kendrick feeds her strawberries. It took them a few days but they eventually talked through their issues. The issues were more with her and everything she had heard about how wolves and vampires don’t get along. While most of it is true, I like to think our pack is different. “Be careful he loves to shove food into your face when you least expect it.” I remark. “Fuck you. You shoved my face into that pie asshole.” Kendrick snarks.
Aliya I walk down to the bakery where Tia works. I have no idea where anyone else is and I am sure that Brayden is going to lose his shit when he finds out that I went somewhere by myself. It’s not my fault that I couldn’t find or link any of my guards. Hell, no one answered my link. The bakery is literally a ten-minute walk from the packhouse so I am not worried. It is fucking cold out and there are snow flurries today. I threw my hair in a messy bun and pulled on one of my beanies. I am sure I look ridiculous in Brayden’s hoodie but I don’t care. It is warm and smells like him. I smile when the little bell on the door rings as I open it. “Hello, Luna.” Mrs Paula says. “Hi, Mrs Paula is Tia here today?” I ask. “Sorry but today is her day off. She is probably at her cottage.” She tells me. I leave after purchasing a couple of white/dark chocolate cupcakes and coffee. They make the best espresso drinks. I follow the instructions that Mrs Paula gave me and walk towar
Brayden I leant against the door frame as I watch my angel fluttering around our room to get ready. Alpha’s Gideon, Zane, and Weston arrived earlier today. We have spent most of it in my office discussing the alliance and what each pack will get out of it. By lunchtime, we had the fine details worked out and we will be signing it tomorrow after it has been through its final rewrite. I just shake my head when my angel almost falls over after she has slipped on the heels she is wearing for tonight's dinner. She looks stunning as always in a floor-length iridescent dark purple gown that she topped off with silver heels. “Oh god this is too much isn’t it?” She whines. I catch her arm as she walks back towards the closet. I press my lips to hers and I can feel her calm down. “Angel this dress is perfect,” I say. I feel her let out a sigh and she smiles at me. I slip my hand into hers and lead her out of our bedroom. I want nothing more than to slip that dress off of her a
Aliya I was watching Xander as we all sat around and talked. When Gideon and Zane first came into the room and saw her with Xander in her lap I knew they were both confused and hurt. Once Brayden explained that he was her younger brother you could see them visibly relax. I sat by Tia because I could tell she was nervous around them. I am pretty sure she was afraid that they would reject her once they found out about her. I was surprised when Alpha Phillip explained everything that had happened to her. All three of the visiting alphas were visibly pissed that a father would sell his own daughter to save his ass. I smile when they each sit down beside her. I see a faint blush spread across her cheeks. “I actually went there to see if there were any survivors. Unfortunely there was not or they had been taken by the rogues.” Alpha Weston states. “Many of the members of the pack were so corrupt that they probably went with the rogues willingly. It wouldn’t surprise me if someo
Epilogue 2 Violet - 1 ½ later We sit on the edge of their border watching them. Aliya now has a six-month-old son; her daughter is almost two years old. Tallyn is pregnant with her second as is Lailani. The pack has been doing great these last two years. I stand up and head back to the car. These last two years have been rough. Brayden turned all of us over to King Luthar, well, except for Heather, Johanna, and Nelson. Johanna and Nelson were handed over to the supernatural council, who turned them over to her old coven. I have no idea what happened after that. I heard that they were put to death but then I heard she was stripped of her magic and they were shipped off to somewhere far away to live in a pack that dealt with people like them. Harlow, Scar, Liam, and Willow were put to death since they were the last remaining members of the pack that betrayed his father all those years ago. Heather and Johnny were handed over to her father. Again I heard that he placed them
Epilogue Aliya - Six months later Well, it is colder than hell outside. I swear it was just summer and then this horrible weather came out of nowhere. I am sitting on the bench in front of the window watching more fucking snow pour down. It has been this way for the last two days. I let out a huff and stand up. I look down when I hear a quiet cry. I am holding my three-month-old daughter. Yes, I was right when I kept thinking I was having a girl. She was born in the middle of the last day of summer. She is so adorable and yes I might be biased since she is mine. She has a full head of slightly curly strawberry-blonde hair and dark blue eyes with flecks of gold in them. Phillip says that she is the perfect mix of Brayden and me and I think that I have to agree with him. I have a feeling she is going to be a little thing like me since she was just over five pounds when she was born. Mom and great-grandfather told me that they can already feel her powers but until she gets
Alpha Phillip It has been two days since Aliya, Tallyn, and Lailani had been kidnapped. I was pissed that they let themselves be kidnapped. When they had returned from Morrison’s pack and I saw an unconscious Aliya in Brayden’s arms I wanted someone dead. She was pale and looked so fragile which was not normal for her. When Brayden came back down after placing her in their bed I made them tell me what happened from the beginning. I was both shocked and not surprised that Aliya had known what they were up to and had come up with a plan of her own to put an end to all this shit. I knew in my heart that she would have to be the one to end this but I sure as hell wasn’t going to tell my son that. I could see Hillary out of the corner of my eye and I knew she was just as surprised by this as I was. The boys had been home about half an hour when there was a loud knock on the door. Brayden let out a growl. I knew he was afraid that they would wake Aliya up and right now that girl n
Dreston I had heard stories from my grandfather and some of my great uncles about a fae so powerful that no other fae or person with magic could touch them. Those stories were told to us as children and for all intense and purposes were myths. They were mainly used as bedtime stories. Grandfather told me that it has been well over a thousand years since a fae with that much power was born. I was considerably older than both Luke and Aliya. The family was aware that Luke was fairly powerful when he was born but we also knew that his powers would manifest later since for some weird reason male fae didn’t acquire their powers until they were older. When Aliya was born, we all knew right then that she was beyond powerful. When great-great-aunt Belinda informed us that Aliya was that one in a thousand-year fae we were all shocked, I knew that Deliah was proud of her but we could all tell that Aliya’s dad was not as thrilled. Don’t get me wrong he loved his daughter and spoiled her
Brayden I woke up this morning with a bad feeling. I knew it had to do with my angel and I didn’t like it one bit. I could tell when I went down for breakfast that Kendrick was feeling the same way I was. Looking around most of the guys seemed to be feeling the same way. I tried my hardest to keep my angel from leaving the packhouse and heading into town with Tallyn and Lailani but they were adamant that they needed a few more things for the pups and other things. I let her go very unwillingly as did Kendrick and Eddie. I looked up at the sky thinking that it would be dark and overcast but no, it was the perfect day out. The sun was shining and it was hot and humid. Typical weather for this time of year. They had been gone a few hours when Dreston and Nikolas came tearing into the packhouse at the same time Carter, Luke, and Myles came flying through the front door. I knew at that moment that something was very wrong. Dreston was carrying a crystal ball. I wasn’t sure what
Harrison We had to wait an extra day for Aliya, Tallyn, and Lailani to make it into town. We are not sure why they didn’t make it into town when we originally thought they’d be here. I was told that Tallyn was in the hospital so I am guessing it was related to the pup. I know the others are chomping at the bit to get these three. I honestly have no idea why they want Tallyn. She really isn’t that special of a hybrid. I know why they want Aliya and Lailani. When we heard that they would be in town the next day we made damn sure that everything was ready for them. They didn’t show up until midmorning and then they had brunch first. We were literally going crazy watching them walk around and go into every store but ours. I know Nelson was losing patients but there was nothing we could do. It’s not like we could go out and force them to come into our store. I think we almost jumped the gun when they finally walked in although they took their time getting to the back where we c
Aliya The three of us were suspossed to go into town today. We had been listening in on their conversation. We knew that Nelson and Johanna were back in town again. We knew their plan and which shop they had chosen. What we weren’t expecting was Violet’s mother to be part of this. Then when they were talking about her being able to use magic I was floored. I am not sure if that meant she is a part witch but this threw a curveball into our plan. I needed to find out what exactly she is but we were out of time. I knew they were going to be pissed when we didn’t show up in town but that is not my problem. I could hear them discussing the reasons we hadn’t been seen in town that day. None of which were true. Lailani had a terrible migraine and Tallyn started having contractions, which turned out to be false contractions. Dr Nelson said that she still had at least a month or so before she would give birth. Poor Kendrick was a mess. I thought he was going to have a heart attack
Henry (Willis) In just a few more days and we will be able to set our plan into motion. I had finally gotten a hold of the guy that I know that owns the rental truck company and he had let me borrow one of the trucks. Nelson and Johanna will be back in town tomorrow. After that it will take us at least two days to get the location set up and for Johanna to get the spell in place. She had to find someone who could help since Aliya would be able to sense her magic. Luckily Violet knew of someone that would be able to help. I was shocked as was Harrison when we found out that it was her mother. As far as anyone knew her mother had disappeared and everyone thought she was dead. It turns out she is not dead and that Violet had been in contact with her for years. Her father and Alpha Hewitt never knew his. She never did tell us why her mother left the pack but that doesn't matter anyway. “I still can’t believe that Violet has fae blood in her. I would have never guessed since yo
Brayden It’s been way too quiet around here. I have talked to the other alphas and they said the same thing. Morrison and his pack have been sticking close to home. None of us has seen any of his guys around our packs. Hell, even Zharten hasn't seen any around his kingdom. There haven’t been any more reports of special/gifted wolves being kidnapped. Dad has been keeping up with that. Which is good and I would like to keep it that way. We still haven’t found where they are hiding the other wolves they kidnapped. Emmanual was able to trace the truck to the border of Tennessee and North Carolina but then all traces of them disappeared. Again we think that Johanna is behind this. I have a weird feeling that they are hiding those girls right under our noses. On top of everything else, the women are acting normal. There haven’t been any more hushed conversations and they haven't been acting like they are planning something. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not but I wil
